                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
             PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP
                                  JUNE 30, 1999
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited financial statements included herein have been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the six months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1999. For
further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto
included in each Partner's December 31, 1998 Annual Report on Form 10K.


NOTE 2:  COMMITMENT FROM PARTNER

In prior years, Prudential committed to fund up to $100 million to enable the
Partnership to acquire real estate investments. Contributions to the Partnership
under this commitment were utilized for property acquisitions, and returned to
Prudential on an ongoing basis from the contract owners' net contributions and
other available cash. The amount of the commitment is reduced by $10 million for
every $100 million in current value net assets of the Partnership. As of March
31, 1999, Prudential's equity interest in the Partnership under this commitment
was $39.7 million.

On February 2, 1999, Prudential and its partners withdrew $30 million based on
the ratio of each Partners' equity in the Partnership. At the present time,
Prudential does not intend to make further contributions during the 1999 fiscal
year.


NOTE 3:  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Pursuant to an investment management agreement, Prudential charges the
Partnership a daily investment management fee at an annual rate of 1.25% of the
average daily gross asset valuation of the Partnership. For the six months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998 management fees incurred by the Partnership were
$1,345,663 and $1,391,475 respectively.

The Partnership also reimburses Prudential for certain administrative services
rendered by Prudential. The amounts incurred for the six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998 were $58,148 and $58,064 respectively, and are classified as
administrative expenses in the statements of operations.


NOTE 4:  INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (REIT)

On March 30, 1999, the Partnership exchanged 506,894 shares of Meridian REIT for
557,583 shares of ProLogis REIT, fair value of $10,942,566, and cash of
$1,013,796 (or total fair value of $11,956,362) as a result of ProLogis'
acquisition of Meridian. Management continued applying a 3% discount to the
market value of the ProLogis REIT shares through June 29, 1999 because of the
restriction which limits the number of shares that can be publicly traded during
any six month period to 30% of the total shares originally acquired. The
application of the 3% discount was discontinued on June 30, 1999 because this
restriction no longer applied.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

All of the assets of Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account ("the
Account") are invested in the Prudential Variable Contract Real Property
Partnership ("the Partnership"). Correspondingly, the liquidity, capital
resources and results of operations for the Real Property Account are
contingent upon the Partnership. Therefore, all of management's discussion of
these items is at the Partnership level. The partners in the Partnership are
The Prudential Insurance Company of America, Pruco Life Insurance Company,
and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey (collectively, "the Partners").
(a)   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 1999, the Partnership's liquid assets consisting of cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities were $30.1 million, a decrease of $43.4
million from $73.5 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease is due primarily
to Partners' withdrawals of $30.0 on February 2, 1999.

At the present time, Prudential has decided not to make further contributions to
the Partnership for investments in real estate. On February 2, 1999, the
Partners made a $30 million withdrawal from excess cash. Further withdrawals may
be made by the Partners during 1999 based upon the percentage of assets invested
in short-term obligations and taking into consideration anticipated cash needs
of the Partnership including potential property acquisitions and capital
expenditures. Management anticipates that it's current liquid assets and ongoing
cash flow from operations will satisfy the Partnership's needs over the next
twelve months and the foreseeable future, including anticipated withdrawals by
the Partners.

The Partnership's investment policy allows up to 30% investments in cash and
short-term obligations. At June 30, 1999, 14% of the Partnership's assets
consisted of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Sources of
liquidity include net cash flow from property operations, interest from short
term investments, and dividends from Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) shares.
Capital expenditures were approximately $900,000 and were of a recurring nature.

(b)   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a brief year-to-date and quarterly comparison of the
Partnership's results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998
and an explanation of REIT trading.

June 30, 1999 vs. June 30, 1998

The Partnership's net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 1999
was $6.3 million, a decrease of $1.3 million from net investment income of $7.6
million for the corresponding period in 1998. The Partnership's net investment
income for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 was $4.5 million, an increase of $0.3
million from net investment income of $4.2 million for the corresponding period
in 1998.

Revenue from real estate and improvements for the first six months of 1999 was
$10.5 million, a decrease of $1.9 million or 15.3% from $12.4 million for the
corresponding period in 1998. This decrease was primarily due to the sale of the
Partnership's industrial property located in Pomona, CA and an apartment complex
located in Farmington Hills, MI during 1998.

On March 30, 1999, the Partnership exchanged 506,894 shares of Meridian REIT for
557,583 shares of ProLogis REIT, fair value of $10,942,566, and cash of
$1,013,796 (or total fair value of $11,956,362) as a result of ProLogis'
acquisition of Meridian. The exchange resulted in a realized gain of $401,713.
Dividend income from real estate investment trusts amounted to $0.4 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999, an increase of $0.3 million or 161.3%
compared to the corresponding period in 1998. Dividend income from real estate
investment trusts


                                       14
<PAGE>

increased approximately $100,000 or 61.3% to $269,794 for the quarter ended June
30, 1999. These increases were primarily due to an increase in the amount
invested in REIT stocks.

Interest on short-term investments increased $378,828 or 56.2% due primarily to
a significantly higher average cash balance during the six months ended June 30,
1999 compared to the corresponding period last year. Cash and cash equivalents
maintained through the second quarter of 1999 averaged approximately $50 million
when compared to the second quarter of 1998 when average cash and cash
equivalents were approximately $30 million.

Real estate taxes increased $170,044 or 12.6% during the six months ended
June 30, 1999. This increase was primarily due to increased real estate taxes
by the industrial property located in Aurora, CO.

Real estate taxes increased $216,033 or 29.5% when compared to the second
quarter of 1998. This increase was primarily due to increased real estate taxes
by the industrial property located in Aurora, CO and the apartment complex
located in Atlanta, GA, offset by a decrease in real estate tax expense as a
result of the sale of Pomona Industrial Park.

Operating expenses decreased $168,604 or 16.6% when compared to the second
quarter of 1998 mainly as a result of the sale of the apartment complex located
in Farmington Hills, MI and a decrease in operating expenses for the retail
center located in Roswell, GA.

The following is a year-to-date and quarterly comparison of the Partnership's
property results of operations and realized and unrealized gains or losses, by
investment type.

OFFICE PROPERTIES

Net investment income from property operations for the office sector increased
approximately $518,400 or 16% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 when
compared to the corresponding period in 1998. This increase in net investment
income was primarily due to higher revenue levels experienced by the Oakbrook,
IL office complex as the result of a lease termination fee received from one of
the tenants.

Net investment income from property operations for the office sector increased
approximately $960,000 or 56% during the second quarter of 1999 when compared to
the corresponding period in 1998. The increase in net investment income was
primarily due to an increase in occupancy levels experienced by the Lisle, IL
and Morristown, NJ office complexes.

The six office properties owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized
loss of approximately $3.9 million during the first six months of 1999 compared
to a net unrealized gain of $2.7 million in the corresponding period in 1998.
The largest share of this net unrealized loss or 58% was primarily due to the
office property located in Oakbrook Terrace, IL. This $2.3 million (14%) value
decrease was due to costs associated with re-leasing the facility and downtime
resulting from the upcoming vacating of the property by the two tenants who
currently occupy the entire facility. The Beaverton, OR office property also
experienced a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.8 million. This decline in
value was due to a change in discounted cash flow assumptions resulting from the
large amount of Class "A" space under construction in the local market of which
less than 10% is pre-leased. In addition, a lower renewal probability in
determining the valuation of the property was utilized for Nike, a major tenant.
Tenant improvements and leasing commissions are also projected to occur earlier.
The Lisle, IL office property also experienced a net unrealized loss of
approximately $0.6 million primarily due to capital expenditures on the property
that were not reflected as an increase in market value.

The office properties experienced a net unrealized loss of approximately $2.6
million during the second quarter of 1999 compared to a net unrealized gain of
$2.0 million in the corresponding period in 1998. The loss consisted of $2.3
million at the Oakbrook Terrace, IL property and $330,000 at the Beaverton, OR
property for the reasons discussed above.

Occupancy at the Beaverton, OR, Oakbrook Terrace, IL and Brentwood, TN
properties remained unchanged from June 30, 1998 at 100%. Occupancy at the
Morristown, NJ property increased from 74% at June 30, 1998 to 85% at June 30,
1999 while occupancy at the Lisle, IL office property increased from 60% at June
30, 1998 to 89% at June 30, 1999. As of June 30, 1999 all vacant spaces were
being marketed.

APARTMENT COMPLEXES

Net investment income from property operations for the apartment sector was
$916,594 for the first six months of 1999, a decrease of $1,127,937 or 55%
compared with the corresponding period in 1998. Net investment income from
property operations for the apartment complexes was $532,143 for the second
quarter of 1999, a decrease of $474,010 or 47.1% compared with the corresponding
period in 1998. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of the apartment
complex located in Farmington Hills, MI on October 8, 1998.

The apartment complexes owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized
gain of $425,925 and $341,263 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998
respectively. The apartments experienced a net unrealized gain of $491,295 and
$372,271 for the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 respectively. The
majority of this change in unrealized gain was experienced by the property
located in Atlanta, GA which increased as a result of changes in the property's
leasing activity and rental rates.

The occupancy at the Atlanta, GA complex decreased from 99% at June 30, 1998 to
97% at June 30, 1999, while occupancy at the apartment complex in Raleigh, NC
increased from 90% at June 30, 1998 to 95% at June 30, 1999.

As of June 30, 1999, all vacant spaces were being marketed.

RETAIL PROPERTY

Net investment income for the first six months of 1999 for the Partnership's
retail property (comprised solely of a retail shopping center) was $1,375,256, a
decrease of $106,374 or 7% from $1,481,630 for the six months ended June 30,
1998 due primarily to higher expense levels at the shopping center. Net
investment income for the second quarter of 1999 was $686,110, a decrease of
$20,485 or 2.9% from $706,595 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.

The retail property experienced a net unrealized gain of $331,740 and a net
unrealized loss of $1,670,934 for the first six months of 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The increase in value for 1999 was attributable to an adjustment
in cash flow assumptions which resulted when the market re-stabilized after a
competing retail property had been built in the same general vicinity. In
addition, the overall occupancy at the property increased slightly. The complex
is currently being marketed for sale.

The retail property experienced a net unrealized gain of $480,916 and a net
unrealized loss of $1,616,565 for the second quarter of 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The net unrealized gain and loss are attributable to the
aforementioned reasons.

The shopping center was 98% occupied at June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998. As of
June 30, 1999, all vacant spaces were being marketed.

INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES

Net investment income from property operations for the industrial properties
decreased from $1,046,931 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $156,380 for
the corresponding period in 1999. Net investment income from property operations
for the industrial properties decreased from $522,401 for the quarter ended June
30, 1998 to $71,130 for the corresponding period in 1999. The majority of the
decrease was a result of the sale of Pomona Industrial Park, including the land.

The three industrial properties owned by the Partnership experienced a net
unrealized loss of approximately $205,000 and $330,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The majority of the decrease for 1999 was
attributable to the Aurora, CO industrial property because there were capital
expenditures on the property that were not reflected as an increase in market
value.

The three industrial properties owned by the Partnership experienced a net
unrealized loss of approximately $5,000 and $320,000 for the quarters ended June
30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The majority of the decrease for 1998 was
attributable to the industrial properties located in Aurora, CO and Pomona, CA.

The occupancy at the Bolingbrook, IL property was 100% at June 30, 1999 and June
30, 1998. The occupancy at the Salt Lake City, Utah property increased to 33% at
June 30, 1999 from 0% at June 30, 1998. The Aurora, CO property's occupancy rate
increased to 67% at June 30, 1999 from 23% at June 30, 1998. As of June 30,
1999, all vacant spaces were being marketed.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS

During the first six months of 1999, the Partnership recognized a realized gain
of $401,713 from the exchange of 506,894 shares of Meridian REIT for 557,583
shares of REIT which was offset by a realized loss of $187,715 primarily as a
result of the sale of 171,375 ProLogis REIT shares.

The Partnership recognized a net realized gain from real estate investment
trusts of $212,628 for the second quarter of 1999 primarily as a result of the
sale of ProLogis REIT shares.

Management continued applying a 3% discount to the market value of the ProLogis
REIT shares through June 29, 1999 because of the restriction which limits the
number of shares that can be publicly traded during any six month


                                       17
<PAGE>


period to 30% of the total shares originally acquired. The application of the 3%
discount was discontinued on June 30, 1999 because this restriction no longer
applied


OTHER

Other net investment income increased $63,786 or 16.2% during the six months
ended June 30, 1999. This includes interest income from short-term investments,
investment management fees, and expenses not related to property activities. The
increase was due primarily to an increase in interest income from short-term
investments coupled with a decrease in investment management fees being offset
by an increase in expenses not related to property activities.

Other net investment income increased $229,813 or 513.4% during the second
quarter of 1999. Interest income on short-term investments increased primarily
as a result of a the Partnership maintaining a significantly higher cash balance
when compared to the corresponding period last year as mentioned previously. In
addition, investment management fees and expenses not related to property
activities decreased when compared to the same quarter last year.

(c)   THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
Prudential has addressed the Year 2000 issue on an enterprise-wide basis;
therefore, it is not possible to differentiate the Partnership's Year 2000 issue
from that of the Prudential. Refer to management's discussion of the Year 2000
issue in the December 31, 1998 Form 10-K for the steps taken by Prudential to
mitigate the Year 2000 risks.

The Business Application, Infrastructure and Business Partners components of
Prudential's Year 2000 project are substantially complete. Although a small
number of projects did not meet their targeted completion dates in the second
quarter, Prudential expects all projects will be completed by September, 1999.
Accordingly, these delays do not have a significant impact on the timing of the
project as a whole.

Prudential believes that the Year 2000 project is substantially on schedule.
Prudential is continuing to review and update their contingency plans until 2000
in an effort to reduce the level of uncertainty about the effect of the Year
2000 issue and further mitigate risk. Prudential believes that, with the
completion of the Year 2000 program as scheduled, the possibility of significant
interruptions of normal operations will be reduced.

Prudential has investment securities that are both publicly traded and privately
placed. Prudential is exposed to the risk that issuers of these investments will
be adversely affected by Year 2000 issues. Prudential assesses the impact which
Year 2000 issues may have on our investments as part of due diligence for
proposed new investments as well as their ongoing review of current portfolio
holdings. Any recommended actions with respect to particular investments
consider the disclosed potential impact of Year 2000 on the issuer.

There were no Year 2000 costs allocated directly to the Partnership to date and
none are anticipated. The discussion of the Year 2000 issue herein, and in
particular Prudential's plans to remediate this issue and estimated costs
thereof, are forward-looking in nature. See cautionary statement below relating
to forward-looking statements.

(d)   INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain of the statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis may
be considered forward-looking statements. Words such as "expects," "believes,"
"anticipates," "intends," "plans," or variations of such words are generally
part of forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made based
upon management's current expectations and beliefs concerning future
developments and their potential effects upon the Partnership. There can be no
assurance that future developments affecting the Partnership will be those
anticipated by management. There are certain important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from estimates or expectations reflected in
such forward-looking statements including without limitation, changes in general
economic conditions, including the performance of financial markets and interest
rates; market acceptance of new


                                       18

products and distribution channels; competitive, regulatory or tax changes that
affect the cost or demand for the Partnership's products; and adverse litigation
results. While the Partnership reassesses material trends and uncertainties
affecting its financial position and results of operations, it does not intend
to review or revise any particular forward-looking statement referenced in this
Management's Discussion and Analysis in light of future events. The information
referred to above should be considered by readers when reviewing any
forward-looking statements contained in this Management's Discussion and
Analysis.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Partnership is not subject to significant exposure to market rate risk for
changes in interest rates because the Partnership's financial instruments
consist primarily of short-term fixed rate commercial paper and does not use
derivative financial instruments. Further, by policy, the Partnership places its
investments with high quality debt security issuers, limits the amount of credit
exposure to any one issuer, limits duration by restricting the term, and holds
investments to maturity except under rare circumstances. At June 30, 1999, 86%
of the Partnership's investments were in real estate.
